# Nixs base image for promxox
This is the nixos base image to be used as a template in proxmox
## Using this base image
Build the image on remote builder
```bash
nix build .#base --builders "ssh://root@nixos-builder.lab x86_64-linux"
```
Copy to target proxmox storage
```bash
scp ./result/vzdump-qemu-nixos-*.vma.zst jupiter:/mnt/pve/templates-nfs/dump/
```
In proxmox UI
* Go to datacenter->[node]->[storage]->backups
* Restore the image which was uploaded now
* Provide name, cpu, memory etc. Don't auto-start
* Open the new VM -> click on `more` -> convert to template
## Testing the template manually
* click on base image -> more -> clone
* Once cloned, provide cloud-init parameters as needed
* Adjust hard-disk size as needed.
